In summary
North Shields is in the more-deprived bottom 40% of England, ranked #4,728 of 6,856 neighbourhoods nationally, and #22 of 30 in North Tyneside. It is highly uneven across the seven themes — strong on Housing & access (99) but weak on Living environment (12). Typical homes here, about £170,000 over the past year, have climbed steeply — up 26% in five years (from 119 sales), 22% below the wider North Tyneside median of £217,310. Cheaper homes only partly offset the deprivation score, leaving it at #1,989 of 6,851 on our affordability-adjusted measure. Typical household take-home income is around £33,937 a year, in the bottom third of England. Recorded crime ran at 172 incidents per 1,000 residents over the past year, well above the England rate of 83.
